A sender sends a signal about a state to a receiver who takes an action that determines a payoff. A moderator can block some or all of the sender's signal before it reaches the receiver. When the moderator's policy is transparent to the receiver, the moderator can... View Details

    Accounting for Crises

    While neoclassical models suggest that improving the quality of financial information tightens the link between the realization of the information and the underlying fundamentals, models of recent crises suggest that higher information quality can generate... View Details

    Delayed-Response Strategies in Repeated Games with Observation Lags

    By: Drew Fudenberg, Yuhta Ishii and Scott Duke Kominers
    We extend the folk theorem of repeated games to two settings in which players' information about others' play arrives with stochastic lags. In our first model, signals are almost-perfect if and when they do arrive, that is, each player either observes an almost-perfect... View Details

    Risky Business: When Humor Increases and Decreases Status

    By: T. B. Bitterly, A.W. Brooks and M. E. Schweitzer
    Across eight experiments, we demonstrate that humor can influence status, but attempting to use humor is risky. The successful use of humor can increase status in both new and existing relationships, but unsuccessful humor attempts (e.g., inappropriate jokes) can harm... View Details

    Accounting for Crises

    By: Venky Nagar and Gwen Yu
    We provide among the first empirical evidence consistent with recent macro global-game crisis models, which show that the precision of public signals can coordinate crises (e.g., Angeletos and Werning, 2006; Morris and Shin, 2002, 2003). In these models,... View Details

    Culture as a Signal: Evidence from a Natural Field Experiment

    By: Wei Cai, Dennis Campbell and Jiehang Yu

    Seeing the Whole: Configurational Cognition and New Venture Resource Mobilization

    By: Goran Calic, François Neville, Santi Furnari and C. S. Richard Chan
    Research is scant on how multiple venture attributes combine as “whole packages” of signals (or cognitive configurations) in resource holders’ eyes, shaping a venture’s ability to mobilize resources. Drawing on a Qualitative Comparative Analysis of 1,395 crowdfunding... View Details
